L-Aminobutyric Acid is a non-protein amino acid. It is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, where it regulates neuronal excitability. L-Aminobutyric Acid is involved in the modulation of muscle tone and plays a role in the regulation of anxiety and stress. It is synthesized from glutamate by the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase and is stored in synaptic vesicles. Upon release, L-Aminobutyric Acid binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, leading to the opening of chloride channels and hyperpolarization of the neuron. This results in the inhibition of neuronal firing and the transmission of nerve impulses.
